    My hen's egg broke inside her & her crop is huge, HELP Please!

    Thank you for the suggestions. I will give her coconut oil and I have massaged her crop. Unfortunately, I cannot do it 4 times a day. I can do it in the morning before going to work and then when I return. She seemed in better spirits yesterday and you can tell that she was hungry. I think...
